Sparks and q Seattle Man.

A Washington Territory man called
on Commissioner Sparks in Washing
ton some weeks ago relative to getting
the U. s. land Office removed to Seattle
from Olympia. Some time before
Sparks had issued an ordered directing
that Seattle be made the headquarters
of the land Office. When he found
that his brother would lose job by
the change, he Immediately counter
manded the order.
The Territory man found Sparks in
Q naughty mood, and received for q re-
ply, q neutrality-suspicious., II have
nothing further to say; I am done on
subject"
"Well, 1 cannot but think as do the
rest of our people," said the intruder
" that you recalled your order to keep
your brother in job"
"What is that you say, sir" de-
manded Sparks, diverting his attention
from q gentleman with whom he was
conversing.
al have nothing further to say; ]
am done on the subject" said the Sc
Athlete, casting back Sparks dart to
him and moving out.-Ez.
If the interview transpired just as
related above, it is difficult to discover
the point of the dart which the Seattle
man is said to have cast back at Com.
missioner Sparks. Indeed, it looks To
the generality of readers as if the 8. m
had drawn in his horns very percepti.

remembered, notified the commission
ers of King, in a published letter, that
the rates it was receiving for the coun.
ty printing under contract with the
former proprietors, were too high, and
expressed an intention of making q
voluntary reduction on the remainder
of the work. This unusual proceed

works usually inspire, and we now find
the chosen custodians of the people.

disapproval ON the 'Intelligencer's petty
hobby of civil service reform. But
then, the STANDARD cannot affirm thai
the Commissioners action is right un

charmed their ears and deluded theil
senses. Its potency was manifest q
few years ago on the Olympia City
Council, when the Courier's bid fol

ATToRNEY-GENERAL Garland corrects
the statement Of the Associated Press
that he is likely to be named for q
place ON the Supreme bench. He gives
~ his reason for declining in advance
this prominent position, that he con-

Popular Testimonial to the Governor.

The Reception arranged for Gov.
Semple by the citizens of Olympia,
was held in Columbia Hall, Tuesday
evening, and very brilliant and en-
joyable affair. The large hall had been
beautifully decorated for the occasion
with evergreens and flags, which added
very materially to the splendor of the
scene when thronged as it was for sew
eral hours with " fair women and brave
men," moving in rythmetic measure
to the sweet strains discoursed by Prof
Vaughn's band. The presentation of
of the people to the Governor took place
as they passed through the west-room
to the hall, and for one hour contin-
uous stream of humanity passed by,
each Of whom received cordial greet
ing and warm clasp of the hand from
our new Executive. At . 80 the grand
march began, and Gov. Semple led off
with the handsome and accomplished
wife of F. l. Blodgett, followed by about
$50 couples, who after the various
evolutions, formed into sets for the
Lancers Quadrille. After this, dane
ing continued without intermission till
far past midnight. Those who did not
care to trip the eight fantastic" as
sembled in the ante-rooms and engaged
in games of whist and euchre. At IL
O'Clock, the guests from abroad were
treated to an elegant supper ut the
Carlton, by Messrs. Book and Shannon,
a number of our own citizens likewise
participating, by invitation of those
gentlemen. Mr.. Shannon presided at
the head of the table, with Gov. Sem
pie on his right, and Mr.. Blodgett ably
filed the position of toast-master at
the opposite end of the festive board.
To the sentiment of washington Ter
ritory," Gov. Semple responded in a
few brief and pertinent remarks, touch
ing upon the elements of greatness
which abound in such profusion with
in our Territorial borders. He was fol-
lowed by Gov. Newell in an exceeding
ly happy effort called forth by toast
to "The Governor" "Olympia,"
called up Mayor Chambers; "The
Press" J. M. Murphy; "Why we Cele-
brate," DR.. Ostrander; "The Govern.
or's Staff" T. M. Reed, ST.; "The Old
Settler" VIM. McLane; "Our Match
less Climate" Gen McMicken; "St
Paul and her Enterprise" Col. Allen,
of st. Paul; "The Bar" Jos. Robinson
and The Ladies'" Gwin Hicks. At
A. NJ, the party separated, with many
expressions of good will for the recip.
lent OF this marked token of respect
of the people.

Very Proper.

The Pioneer-Press thus comments
on matter of local interest: "The
new Governor of Washington Terri.
tory, Eugene Semple. hearing recently
that an attempt would be made at Sc
attic to Gust the Chinese, ordered the
Adjutant General to get his forces
ready to put down the riot. The riot
did not come of, but the Governor is
to be commended in acting promptly.
He has erred, however, in issuing a
long-winded address to the people OF
Seattle, voluminously explaining his
action and apologizing for it. He has
set q bad precedent for himself, for he
will find it q very uncomfortable bust
ness writing commentaries ON each
one of his official acts"
1t is evident that the Roneer-Pr ess
does not understand the peculiar cir
cumstances which justify the Cover
nor's action. There seems to have
been disposition on the part Of Ger
tain agitators, a. well as of the small.
beer politicians, to put the Governors
inclinations and ability to the test.
Both of these were happily disappoint-
ed in their estimate Of the man. They
found him firm in his determination
to preserve the dignity of the law by
properly recognized legal methods.
They soon discovered what they had
to deal with in matters appertaining
to the Executive Office. It seems,
therefore, exceedingly appropriate that
the Governor should have done just
what he did do, in this instance: to
issue an address defining his idea Of
the duties imposed upon the Execu-
tive, while an effort was being made
to foment discord. There is no doubt
now but that peace will be preserved
and the majesty of the law maintained
by the usual methods prescribed in
public emergencies, and this inten.
ton, shown by the Governors prompt
action, is emphasized by the address
which followed it.

MONDAY night last a body Of
masked men forcibly destroyed all the
fish traps and nets in Bakers bay

Semple has authorized an investiga
ton of the outrage.

IT seems, from a published inter-
view with Mr.. Buckley, Western Man
ager of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
that all through trains will not stop at
Tacoma, after the completion of the
switchback, but will go through to
Portland. This indicates and abandon
ment of the traffic arrangement with
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Co., whereby the Northern Pacific
trains for Portland have hitherto passed
over their road.
